That would be beyond cool!

Hopefully it is a true yamaha 2 stroke and not some yamaha engine in a cat chassis that would be a dud.

I don't know what is harder to believe that this will be ground breaking reveal or that Christopher has never owned a 2 stroke.

Had 5 Yammis this last summer in my garage.

NEVER owned a 2 stroke in my life.
Been a hard core PURE Yamaha 4-stroke guy.

If money allows, and thats a HUGE IF right now, I hope to ad another Yamaha to my stable.

Factory boost finally, no idea what the power ratings are though, sled looks narrower from the front for sure, new skis as well.

Do you have anything to back that up with?

PICS?

Nope
I came into this sport in 2008.

 

[Mr Nasty]

I hope this isn't the most exciting part of their release.....

So.
Yamaha just had their Dealer Reveal.
So there SHOULD be LOTS more leaks coming out this evening and tomorrow.!

Start pumping your dealers for DETAILS!

Nice looking sled.

This picture is interesting.
Look like a 4 hole exhaust manifold.

There is a 998 4 holer & 3 holer so it could be.

Still nose heavy. My buddy knew all this and said big deal. He has lost all his customers and this wasn't going to bring them back.
